Antique Turkmen Ersari hand-knotted wool carpet 1920s

In this advertisement, you will find a magnificent Antique Turkmen Ersari rug. Ersari rugs like the one presented in this ad are typically hand-knotted using local wool and natural dyes, and are renowned for their durability and distinctive geometric patterns. They also belong to the family of finer rugs and are very pleasant to the touch. The rug features repeated octagonal medallions, known as guls or göls, on a deep red background. These guls often symbolise tribal heraldry or elephant foot patterns and are a signature of Turkmen weaving traditions. The pattern incorporates detailed geometric shapes and stylised designs in deep indigo blue, black, and natural ivory or brown. Due to its age, as well as exposure to sunlight and washing, it has lost the intensity of its colours, resulting in a multitude of shades of red and orange on this rug, making it very attractive for various interior designs.
